That was my expectation, too. dir and sd running on a FC2 system
(with a 2.6.10-1.771_FC2 kernel); the data are on a NFS mounted
partitition (opts: nosuid,nodev,vers=3,proto=tcp) on a FC4 server
(2.6.16-1.2108_FC4 kernel).

There aren't any error messages. That's what's puzzeling me. Where
would you expect to see such error messages?
In Bacula, I get the expected messages, i. e. for example:
04-May 01:48 xxxxxx-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "xxxxxx.denx.de-017"
on device "FileStorage" (/net/nyx/backup)

However, xxxxxx.denx.de-017 is just 4 kB (a single disk block).
I just re-ran a test: I filled up the file system until it was
reported as full:
# date >foo
date: write error: No space left on device
However, bacula says:

And I see

[Before running the test, this file was empty except for the volume label:
-rw-r----- 1 root root 213 Jul 3 21:05 xxxxxx.denx.de-026
]
It's only when I try to restoire from such a file that I run into trouble:
